A lot of people in the UK would love to purchase a franchise and start up their own business, but these kinds of things can cost a lot of money. With that being the case, it becomes very important to find ways to raise funds so that you can purchase your franchise. There are many ways to do this, and some of them are a lot better than others. Naturally, it's great if you're already wealthy and can just fund your franchise, but most people who can do that, aren't interested in franchising and most people who want to start up a franchise can't just put down a bunch of money to do so. With that being the case, it's certainly better to get funding from sources that aren't going to cost you a lot. If you have friends and family that can help you, so much the better, because the unfortunate truth of the matter is that there are very few sources of funding for franchises in the UK.
However, if you're serious about it you should definitely explore your options. Some companies that offer franchises will actually fund them, and some of them have equipment lease-backs and contingency plans so that you don't have to pay as much up front and can be helped along if you get into financial trouble. This is the best way to raise funds, is to simply let the company do it for you. Be aware, though, that most businesses don't start making a profit until their second year, so you'll want to have money that you can put into the business during that first year. Good franchisers should also help you with proposals that you give to various lenders to try to get the capital that you need to get started and stay afloat.
